Pros

Fair base salary pay Remote (WFH)

Cons

Managers write code, micromanage a lot and don’t appreciate hard work. Employees are stressed out all the time and are sad in the meetings. Very bureaucratic company for that scale. Some teams even have Definition of Done document and how to run a standup. Parallel teams everywhere, working on the exact same issues/features Can’t really use your weekend let alone their “Unlimited PTO” Internal tooling and monitoring instruments do not exist! Not even a simple trace log. User base is literally inflated due to many temporary user accounts so there would be no clear path to IPO. Overall, it’s a bad copy of Amazon

Pros

pay, remote, some good/smart people in pockets

Cons

Senior leaders could not care less about employees and routinely make bad market decisions leading to foreseeable product issues and eventual layoff cycles. There was a time a few years back where employees criticized the dark patterns in the app - the president got pissed and said 'the data didn't show it was an issue', then a few months later when we got bad press about those patterns dismissed it as our competitors planting stories - sums up the culture pretty clearly.
